. . . C. PROPOSED ACTIVITIES FOR PROVIDING SERVICES 1. ASSISTANCE IN ESTABLISHING JOB-RELEVANT QUALIFICATIONS AND RECRUITMENT Initially the City must estabiish qualifications that are consistent with the City's perceived needs and job-relevant under Equai Employment Opportunity (EEO) standards. Qualifications should stipulate minimal job-relevant requirements and also include additional desirable job-relevant qualifications. A critical decision in establishing job-relevant qualifications is determining required and desirable levels of experience and education concerning essential supervisory and administrative job functions. The consultant is available to meet with City officials to provide assistance in developing job-relevant minimal and desirable qualifications. In order to encourage qualified applicants to apply the City should plan its recruitment strategy. Recruitment at the Administrator level typically includes not only determining where to advertise the notice of job opening and requirements, but also what information to provide. Additionally, contacts may also be made with City Administrators and Managers concerning the job opportunity. The consultant has broad contacts with other govemmental agencies and is available to assist the City in the development and implementation of a recruitment strategy. To provide pertinent information to the applicants regarding the City of Arden Hills' services and the City Administrator position, the consultant will create a Community/Position profile. This profile will be sent to the applicants along with all other application materials. The Community/Position profile will provide an overview of the City's organizational structure and services as well as a brief overview of the community. The profiie will also review the City Administrator's position description, background and experience requirements, management capabilities, and position priorities.

JOB-RELEVANT SELECTION TESTS Development of the oral examination and written in-basket examination by the consultant will include job-relevant material based in part on information provided by City officials and management, by outside sources and also drawn from our knowledge and experience concerning city administration.

The oral examination will be consistent with Equal Employment Opportunity guidelines and will be conducted by a panel to be selected by the consultant and the City. Panel members will receive training provided by the consultant. The in-basket examination will be administered by the City, since only a monitor is needed.
